I really enjoyed Ren Faire, picked it up at Gama Trade Show. I ran a demo at our Friendly Local Game Store after I got back from Las Vegas, and it was thoroughly enjoyed and the owner said he was going to carry it. My only complaint about the game is the four-player limit, I'm planning on copying one of the cards and seeing how it will play with five.
I love the Gloom card overlay mechanic, and it fixes my one complaint with Gloom: the cards are functional for those of us whose eyes are less than they used to be. The colors used in Gloom can be very difficult for people with non-perfect vision or playing in, dare we say, Gloomy light levels?
